Geoff Thorpe said about long time bassist Tilen Hudrap, "Tilen is my brother, one of the most knowledgeable music guys in the industry and a hell of a player... he will always be part of Vicious Rumors and our large family as well as one of my very best friends. We wish him all the best in his future projects." 

"This current Vicious Rumors lineup will tour the world together firing on all cylinders! Plans are already underway for the new album in between US and European tours next year. After 40 years, changes are just part of any long running operation! We roll with them and always hire the most talented players available... hey if they're also young and beautiful it's a bonus!"
